    It is ok that the branch is loopback-mounted.
    But it had a problem if the backend fs-image is placed on another
    branch, and aufs had prohibited such nested branch for a long time due
    to the recursive lookup by 'loopN' daemon.
    I don't remember when it was, but the daemon stopped such recursive
    behaviour, but aufs is still prohibitting the nested branch via
    loopback-mount.
    Upon the request from users, aufs will allow the loopback-mounted branch
    on another branch by another patch (aufs4-loopback.patch in
    aufs4-standalone.git).
